The ancient Jesuit missions of Chiquitos in the department of Santa Cruz (1691-1767) and those of Moxos in the department of Beni (1681-1767) are some of the main treasures of the regional and national cultural heritage. In 1990, UNESCO awarded the title of World Cultural Heritage to six towns in Chiquitos as "living towns", because unlike other ancient Jesuit towns that only have ruins left, in Chiquitos their beautiful churches, musical scores, customs, clothing, festivals, ceremonies, instrument-making, and in many of them the musical tradition are still preserved.
